Abstract
A sharp-tipped gold nanocone and the vertically aligned metallic tip of a near-field optical microscope together form a three-dimensional optical antenna with a highly controllable gap. Confocal measurements with different laser modes show the efficient axial excitation of the cones with a longitudinally polarized field. In the antenna configuration, extremely strong field enhancement up to a factor of 100 is obtained by tuning the gap between the two sharp tips down to few nanometers.
